Stopping Trump's OFFSHORE DRILLING Assault on OUR OCEANS

President Donald Trump has proposed to dramatically expand offshore drilling off every coast — in the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Arctic. At the same time, he’s rolling back offshore drilling safety rules, thus threatening wildlife and coastal communities with oil spills, toxic pollution, and more pipelines and offshore oil platforms.

PASS A RESOLUTION IN YOUR TOWN

We're calling on volunteers to join other activists up and down the West Coast to urge your city to pass a resolution to protect our coast by calling for:

1. A ban on new offshore oil and gas drilling, fracking, and other well stimulation in federal and state waters off the California coast.

2. Prohibit new federal oil and gas leasing in all U.S. waters, including off the Pacific coast.

Check out our step-by-step guide on how to pass a resolution in your town, city or county.

From the infamous Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969 to the BP disaster in 2010, it’s clear that when we drill, we spill. There is simply no safe way to drill our oceans. Oil spills tragically kill wildlife and wreak havoc on coastal communities, and oil companies are allowed to dump billions of gallons of wastewater into the oceans every year — including toxic chemicals from fracking. Offshore drilling also deepens our climate crisis; Trump’s offshore drilling plan includes leases that could generate 50 billion tons of carbon pollution. It's time to put an end to the dangerous and dirty practices of offshore drilling and fracking for good.
